Safety is always a concern at marquee events – from concerts to sports to rallies and speeches. One of the world’s largest sporting attractions, the World Cup(TM), kicks off tomorrow in South Africa, and it’s no surprise that safety is taking some of the event’s spotlight. 
Private bodyguards and GPS tracking systems are available for rental, as are special vehicles to accommodate travel needs. Bullet resistant vehicles are being rented out to World Cup spectators at a reported rate of $2000 a day.
South Africa’s crime rate is among the highest in the world, but some argue that safety concerns regarding the South African venue are media hype. Regardless of what’s truth and what’s hype, some attendees aren’t taking chances while away from the stadium by choosing bullet proof glass to keep them safe.
